For those interested in a Medigap plan, its also expensive. My mom is 97, only has medicare, never has had a supplement, and she just had her first major surgery, hip replacement, and the total uncovered medicare bill was $2,000.
am thinking that all those years of savings, and she cancelled her dental eye plan as a seldom used plan, but very high premium. If you have plenty of savings, i would skip the medigap and have a good chunk of cash, $10,000 for out of pocket emergency surgery.
Any other major surgeries uncovered by medicare expenses for comparison?
